Second Day in London: 5-1-08

Up early and off to see the changing of the guards were we. It was a challenge but we made it. It was hard to believe that even in rainy weather in early May there were still crazy crowds about for this spectacle. We took a few shots and then decided to wait out the rest in the gift shop. Here are some of the early photos:







Pretty boring stuff. Once we left the gift shop we ended up talking to a Bobby who explained who really protects the Palace (the London Police) and direct use over to the King James residence where the Prince of Wales resides....he informed us there is a Queen's Guard there with whom you can have your picture taken with:







We then went off to the Natural History Museum which was amazing. India was enthralled with the bug exhibit. The museums in Britain are free and therefore are incredibly attended:







We then decided to walk back through Hyde Park...not as impressive as I would've thought but nice nonetheless:









Once again we ate at an Italian restaurant...we couldn't get enough of authentic Italian food. Amara was once again an entertainer and India befriended some Italian kids visiting London:
